Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomWhen you consider its a very cheap hotel, it would be wrong to say anything you didn't like.
Very cheap and reflected in the room/decor, but where else could you stay for the same price as a meal at wetherspoons. New guy on reception was helpful and polite.

United KingdomHotel had just been taken over by new tenants, so was Not ready for customers, but new people were happy to welcome us. First room we were in was too small and couldn’t get in shower sink was right in the way. Also all rooms was too warm, couldn’t open windows for air.
This hotel was perfectly placed close to town and beach local shops. Staff were helpful & polite.

New ZealandThere are no photos of the rooms without sea views which can be deceiving. If we hadn’t switched rooms we would have looked at finding somewhere else to stay.
After getting a not great room, missing some of the facilities the gentleman working in the evening was very accommodating in helping us switch rooms. It was a busy time when we checked in & he was very helpful.

United KingdomThe hotel interior was poor and needed intense decorating. Some areas had some refurbishing but our room was tatty.
Being located right on the sea front and grand old Victorian buildings. The weather helped as well. A very quiet part of town hardly any hustle or bustle. The shower was brilliant! Bed comfortable.

United StatesThere was no covering for the shower area and the toilet was stained beyond being cleanable. My main complaint was the lack of a hairdryer. I always check to see a hairdryer is included before I make a booking. There was not one in the room . When we asked for one at the front desk we discovered there were only 2 available for the entire hotel. The girl at the desk made every effort to check with the maids to see if one had been turned in in the morning to no avail.
Location was great. The towels were nice and fluffy and the bed was comfortable.

United KingdomI really enjoyed the fact the hotel was close to sea front beautiful view, within walking distance to many different shops, restaurants and the town centre. Very helpful, informative and friendly staff members that assisted our group with cabs services to commute to different areas, and recommendations to places to go out to enjoy a night on the town. Great laid for money too.

United KingdomMy shower had no door on it, so when using it left lots of water on floor when getting in and out which is is a slip hazard. Health and safety hazard Toliet flush was broken. I did report both while staying. No bar which was a shame. But understand still getting licence as not long took over. No house keeping in your room while staying I understanding not entering the room. But I stayed for a week and keep asking for toliet roll, tea bags and milk got very trying in the end. 1 toliet roll does last a week. You need to rethink this a bit. Aslo.i had to empty my own bins because of no house keeping entering the room during the week. I don't mind but I should not have to while i am on my holiday. Maybe you could have a system where bins could be place outside the door to be changed. Breakfast the bacon needed cooking a longer and so does the toast toast needs to brown colour on both side.
The staff where really nice and friendly and could no more for you. Nothing was a hassle for them.
